Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands (LBFCI) has welcomed Tom Holvey, Chief Economic Advisor to the Government of Jersey, to the charity’s Board of Trustees.
LBFCI supports charities in the Channel Island that “make a positive difference to the lives of people who are socially excluded and disadvantaged, enabling them to play a fuller role in the community”.
Mr Holvey has experience as both a Trustee and Non-Executive Director and previously worked as a UK Senior Civil Servant and was the inaugural Head Economist for Digital in the Cabinet Office.
His last role was Chief Impact Officer and Chief Economist for the UK Infrastructure Bank, establishing an investment framework ensuring the bank’s investments maximise policy impacts for economic growth and net zero.
Mr Holvey has held similar positions to his Jersey role, both for the Saint Helena Government and Leeds City Council, focusing on economics, social impacts and economic growth. He also enjoyed a second career as a locally elected politician in York for eight years.
Mr Holvey said: “I’ve admired the work of Lloyds Bank Foundation for a while, and when looking for a Trustee position where I could add value, this felt like a natural fit.
“I love that as a Trustee for LBFCI I can support lots of charities, bringing with me my knowledge and experience of assessing impacts and macro-economics.”
He continued: “I hope I can contribute to the ongoing excellent work of the islands’ charities through LBFCI.”
LBFCI Chair, Philippa Stahelin, added: “We are thrilled to be joined by Tom, who brings with him a new perspective on the charity sector in the Channel Islands.
“His experience working with government and knowledge of the wider economy will be hugely beneficial in helping us to support Channel Islands charities.”
